In reality, a key gives access to things. ... Without a key, people cannot move one place to another like Bessie in the story. ... The key gives access to her hiding place from the world that she thinks full of depravity. ... But ironically, the broken key gives access to Bessie to get out of her hiding place so that she has chance to look up a sky, a moon, stars as well as feminine gesture which she had forgotten. ... She recalls herself by staying outside through the night surrounded by depravity of all kinds not because of her will but because of the broken key. The symbolism of the broken key tells us that it breaks prejudice, ignorance, and aloneness in her as it broken. Singer has the key break to her locked-up mind.
To understand the symbol of the broken key, we need to focus on the meaning of the key to Bessie before it broken. ... The only way she could do at that point was having secured place with lots of locks, and the only thing gives her access to the place is the key.
